Re: Pre Startup

If you are just looking for prices, I would definately make out you were a serious buyer. If a supplier knows you are not in a position to buy, they will never waste their time getting back to you.

Have a professional email set up at least, and give them a call. If they don't get back, call them again, and give the impression you really need the prices. Once you have some, give them all a call again, and try and negotiate them down against eachother, so you can get a feel for the true market value of the product.

Don't feel like you are wasting their time, it is simply market research, and if you do build a relationship with them, you will be back as a paying client, so be confident and stick to your guns!
